摘要

There is provided a method and apparatus for determining a baseline for one or more physiological characteristics of a subject. One or more physiological characteristics of a subject and contextual information associated with the subject is acquired. A time period in which the subject is in a baseline state is detected based on the acquired one or more physiological characteristics of the subject and the acquired contextual information associated with the subject. The baseline for the one or more physiological characteristics of the subject is determined from a value of at least one of the acquired one or more physiological characteristics in the detected time period.
